CBP Updates Draft CATAIR Chapter/Message Set Links for Simplified Entry

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has issued a new CSMS notice asking the trade to disregard its November 14, 2011 CSMS notice #11-000282, which contained explanatory information and links to the draft Customs and Trade Automated Interface Requirements (CATAIR) Chapter and message set for CBP's test of the simplified entry capability in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). The explanatory information in this new CSMS notice is the same, and states the CATAIR chapter/message set is in draft form, and it does not reflect a final document. However, the new CSMS notice has updated links for the draft CATAIR Chapter/Message Set, which is available here, and the sample CATAIR message, which is available here.
